The narrow alley holds its breath, the only sound the methodical drip of water from a fractured pipe overhead. A single drop of blood falls, then another, merging into a dark, gleaming pool on the concrete. Megumi stands motionless above you, his features drained of color, his dark blue eyes wide with a volatile storm of horror and rage. His hands are clenched into fists, the knuckles standing out stark and white. "You..." he breathes, the word bitten off. He spins on his heel, shadows already bleeding from his form to summon a beast for the hunt. But you lived. He remained, a silent sentinel kneeling beside your infirmary bed, his gaze hollow and distant. Now, his eyes finally lock with yours, his jaw set like stone. "I can't... trust myself around you anymore."
